The QW SIGFOX Development kits

The QW ecosystem is designed to rapidly explore the Sigfox network. It is a SIGFOX Ready™ certified development kit based on the MBED toolflow combined with open source application examples . Developing and evaluating a custom Sigfox application can be established in under 10 minutes after opening the box. Simply download one of the code examples, tailor it to your needs, compile and program, done.

Features:

Platform based on Telecom Design TD1204 modem and the NUCLEO-L152RE board

GPS, accelerometer, temperature, proximity and ambient light sensors

2 user buttons, 1 reset button and 4 user LEDs

PAC code for registration on the Sigfox backend, Sigfox subscription included

This program shows how to use the VCNL4010 (proximity and ambient light sensor) on the QW dev kit for motion detection. When motion is detected, a message is shown in the console window and transmitted via Sigfox.

This program shows how to use the VCNL4010 (proximity and ambient light sensor) on the QW dev kit for detecting an open closet door. When the closet is open, a message will be displayed in the console window and a Sigfox message will be send.

First version (beta) of a GPS application for the QW GPS shield that does its own NMEA parsing. It sends out gps data in the TD_GEOLOCATION format, but replaces the first byte with the temperature. Note that some features of the NMEA library are untested.

Check out our library! Included in the library is a main.cpp file that explains how to use it!

Powering from a USB battery pack

Some people like to power the kit using a USB battery pack. This can easily be done, but you'll need to set a jumper on JP1, otherwise your program will not start. You can use one of the spare jumpers that are on the bottom of the board (CN11 and CN12).

Box contents

The QW Development kit has everything you need to get started, packaged in one box.
